What about the Hydra?

Or have I missed something?

[/ QUOTE ]
They're basically an auxiliary add-on to the Rikti (a bit like The Lost but without the close genetic ties ) - the Rikti found them in another dimension and shipped some of them to Paragon City to cause trouble, basically. They get quite a few missions scattered around, though - they appear on some arcs, in a Trial and in zones (Perez, Sewers, etc).

I don't think you can really class Hydra as potentially a major-faction-in-waiting, for the reasons GG has stated, and because they already fulfil the only niches in the game where they could fit.

It would be like trying to argue the Contaminated, Infected, Luddites, Goldbrickers, Arachnoids, Dockworkers, Scrapyarders, Cage Consortium Guards, Wailers, Prisoners or Spetsnaz deserve more content, when basically all of those factions already fulfil the niches they were created for.

Golden Girl · 07-15-2008 07:30 PM

Although, depending on thier level of intelligence, the Hydra might possibly rebel against the Rikti sometime.

And since when were The Skulls dead/undead? You're not confusing their grave-obsessed rites with actual undeath status, are you? Those skulls on their faces are just a mask - though admittedly made from the actual skull of a dead person they dug up

You could get an AV hydra that gets all intelligent and leads the Hydra in their quest for revenge. Like the "big brain bug" off Starship Troopers.

Phobos_EU · 07-16-2008 08:06 AM

The Wyvern don't seem to hang around long in the rogue isles only a few missions pre-20 then almost none after.

Heroes: Phobos-, Protector-Bot, Shadow of Ra, Bionic Eye, Entropic Chaos, Strike-Freedom.

Villains: Necron Phobos, Khorne-Berzerker, Full Metal Panic, Smasher Devourer, Degrees Kelvin.

Except as a Contact? In a car made entirely out of gold...

Theres at least one arc involving the skulls with Bonebreaker at the end IIRC.

You might also want to check out
Skulls in Wiki

and
Skulls in COH.com

I think BP could have a lot done with them myself. They do turn up but you never really seem to get to the bottom of what they are up to.

That's true, so we could end it there as that. But it's awfully convenient (Zone w/a faction whose leader turns things into gold, Origin of Power arc talking about his power) for Cap to have a contact whose Car is entirely made of gold, and iirc, doesn't have any missions against his own faction.

But you're right, there's nothing ingame to confirm that. Though back on topic, the Goldbrickers are rather small fry compared to the possibilities of Coralax arcs (for example)

I think it's pretty heavily implied, but it's never stated as a fact.

Sapphic_Neko · 07-16-2008 09:59 AM

The legion of Amazonian Catgirls...

So underdeveloped, they not even in the game ><

Skullfester · 07-16-2008 09:59 AM

Yea I'd defo want more Hydra/Luddite/Gold Bricker and Coralax mishes they're factions that just dont get enough love IMO.

Gold Brickers could easily replace some Sky Raiders missions or simply hve an arc where you're both after the samethng (being greedy villains!)

/agree'd but bolded the ones i would like

Eddy_B · 07-16-2008 11:10 AM

I'de love to see a proper Luddite arc as they are so much tied into the history of Cap, maybe at the end you should get to fight Deathsurge.

The Knives don't need much in the way of development, they are part of the Malta group, and they have plenty. Wailers have lots as well.

I'de love to see more Skulls and Hellions in the rogue Isles too. That and BP, some cool mobs, but not much made of them.

There are a few mob types I'm quite glad are not in the game much; Shivans, storm elementals, Knives etc, mostly cos they are just naaaaaasty.

Golden Girl · 07-16-2008 11:31 AM

I suspect Shivans may be more developed in coming Issues

Goldbrickers and that, wouldn't really be that much of a developed group however Spetsnaz would be a different story.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Yes, but they're all 32 page pen & paper tabletop modules with two-colour printed covers and use the original three-booklet D&D rules.

No, Leif, that's missions for Luddites.

Yep, I'd agree with this. All they seem to do is pick fights with Arachnos and other groups in zones.

Although the Shaper AV is one too, but the mish he's in is stuffed full of Freakshow cultists.
